share your makeup free faces with me?

I had a pretty shit day today. It was everything from disappointing my mom, going through some heavy withdrawl symptoms from my meds, fighting with my boyfriend, nearly crying at the pharmacy, then finding a stranger from a party across the street pissing on my front lawn.

It wasn't until I turned on my webcam to check my hair that I had a pleasant surprise... for once, I actually like how I look with no makeup on. Of course I snapped a couple shots, and I realised I felt a little better about everything, just from something so small.

edit: wow, I'm loving all the replies! I'm trying to reply to each, and please forgive me if I sound like a parrot but you girls are all SO stunning that I'm running out of words between beautiful and gorgeous.

Do it! Have you seen the episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch where her friend cuts her hair and doesn't like it, so they start chanting "hair grows!"? That's pretty much how I think of my hair, and I can't even explain how amazing it feels when you do something with your hair that you were nervous to do, even if it ends up not as nice as you thought :) I once ended up with what I deemed the "modern mullet" because I went to a hairdresser and told her to just do whatever she wanted, and it was hideous but it grew out fast enough xD

Ahhh you remind me of Sara Bareilles! She's one of my favourite people in the world! And thank you for the compliment; I actually have very sensitive skin, and I work really hard at trying to keep it clean. D:

I had a great time! I highly recommend Munich as a vacation spot. Oh my goodness, there is so much to do! Plus the countryside is absolutely lovely. And I couldn't finish the beer haha. Even between 4 of us it was a major struggle! Apparently that is the standard beer size in Munich though.

And thank you! In high school I got in the habit of not wearing makeup for everyday, and I think that has been a really good thing for my skin in the long run. It was a rough couple of weeks when I quit wearing foundation/concealer cold turkey though! Whew!

Whelp my smile looks funny as usual, my face is oily because I didn't bother to do any hygiene of any sort today (including shower) and the big scab is a nasty zit that bled when I popped it. But I still look beautiful! Enjoy. This is the first ever makeup-free photo of myself I've ever allowed on the Internet.

It's so routine to me but I'll try to explain. I use silver (kind of pearly) to line the top and bottom corners of my eyes and I'll use grey to blend to black for the upper outlet lid. Liquid liner for bottom and top lid (can get messy and burns if you get it in your eye, takes some practice if you're not used to it. And mascara. All my makeup is cheap lo'real, rimmel etc except my foundation, it's bare minerals, totally worth the price. Hope you could understand me cause I'm horrible at explaining things lol

That's fantastic! I was actually considering getting some foundation from Sephora anyways. I always hated foundation but then I realized it was because I used the cheap crappy stuff that feels really heavy on your face. Hmm I am going to have to try this soon :P
